About Filson

Filson’s boots, bags, vests and coats have long held a reputation for reliability and comfort in the most extreme conditions. Founded by C.C. Filson in 1897, the brand’s motto — “Might As Well Have the Best” — underscores its commitment to making clothing that improves the more it’s used and abused. Since the Great Klondike Gold Rush, explorers, hunters, mariners and miners have flocked to Filson for the toughest in clothing and footwear. Proprietary fabrics, like Tin Cloth and Mackinaw Wool, are heavyweight, rugged blends designed and crafted in Filson’s Seattle headquarters. Filson’s apparel and accessories are built to last generations — that leather jacket or pair of flannel-lined pants will see you through wind, rain or snow for years to come.
